OFB Projektentwicklung GmbH has handed over its sustainable logistics property in Gotha-Emleben to the Nagel-Group on schedule. The modern logistics centre comprises around 21,000 m² of rental space and will be operated by the food logistics specialist, which operates throughout Europe, from 01.10.2025.
With the new building, the Nagel-Group is expanding its network in Thuringia and setting another milestone in its strategic modernization. The location offers state-of-the-art storage and handling facilities for temperature-sensitive food and creates additional jobs in the region.
The property was built according to the highest sustainability standards. DGNB Gold certification and EU taxonomy-compliant implementation are planned. The energy concept includes air-to-water heat pumps and a photovoltaic system of around 8,800 m² on the roof, which saves up to 870 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
Ralph Holeschovsky, branch manager of OFB in Erfurt, explains: "With the handover to the Nagel-Group, we are completing a project that ideally combines sustainability, functionality and cost-effectiveness. We are proud to be able to make a further contribution to strengthening Gotha / Emleben as a logistics location."
André Pleines, Executive Director Real Estate at the Nagel-Group, adds: "With the new logistics centre, we have state-of-the-art storage and handling facilities for temperature-sensitive food. Thanks to the sustainable construction method and the modern equipment, we create an efficient basis for our services in Central Germany.
The location benefits from its direct connection to the A4 motorway and its embedding in the Thuringia logistics cluster. For the municipality of Emleben, the investment not only means a strengthening of economic power, but also new jobs and a long-term partnership with a renowned company. The new building is the third location of the Nagel-Group in the district of Gotha.
